Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the UK, employing over 20,000 staff.

We are responsible for running a family of nine hospitals across six separate sites, providing a wide range of services from comprehensive local general hospital care through to highly specialised regional and national services.

We are the main provider of hospital care to approximately 750,000 people in Manchester and Trafford and the single biggest provider of specialised services in the North West of England. We are also the lead provider for a significant number of specialised services including Breast Care, Vascular, Cardiac, Respiratory, Urology, Cancer, Paediatrics, Women’s Services, Ophthalmology and Genomic Medicine.

Our vision is to improve the health and quality of life of our diverse population by building an organisation that:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a replacement post within the Manchester University Foundation Trust (MFT) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Unit. MFT is one of the major teaching hospitals in Manchester and has around 400 clinical medical students on site. It houses regional and supraregional services in Lung Disease, and currently has over 40 clinical and academic consultants in Respiratory Medicine, Allergy, and Infection.

The successful applicant will join an established team of health care professionals servicing a population of over 5 million. The MFT ILD Unit is a regional tertiary referral centre and is pivotal in driving a regional network across the North West of the UK. The post holder will work along-side Drs Nazia Chaudhuri, Dr Colm Leonard and Dr Pilar Rivera Ortega to continue to deliver a high quality ILD service across the city of Manchester. Out-patient and in-patient care will be shared alongside existing colleagues. The post holder will be actively involved in the organisation and delivery of the ILD MDT. As part of this post along with other colleagues the post holder will provide support and guidance to the ILD team (3x ILD specialist nurse, research nurse, MDT coordinator, 2 x ILD pharmacist and clinical research fellow). The ILD Unit has a reputation for clinical research and has close ties to the NIHR Clinical Research Facility.

You would be encouraged to develop and support your own research theme, become PI on clinical trials, and an Honorary University contract at The University of Manchester would be negotiable. Education and training to staff, students and junior doctors will be an essential part of the role, and there will be opportunities to get involved in a more formal role in undergraduate or post graduate education for the appropriate applicant.

Applicants must have completed higher training and some experience in the specialist field of ILD is desirable. However for the right applicant, appropriate supervision in ILD will be provided if needed. Research training, and a postgraduate degree are desirable requirements (MD or PhD). This post would be suitable for SpR’s at completion of training, but also to consultants with some expertise in ILD.

South Manchester has an excellent location close to the Lake District, Peak District and North Wales. Travel links are excellent, with the hospital within 2 miles of the international Airport and motorway network to North, South and West. Culturally and in terms of education for children there is massive opportunity and high quality housing is available within the required geographical locality required for on-call commitments.
